DR. VAN DYKE REMAINS WITH AMERICAN UNIVERSITY UNION
Dr. Paul van Dyke, Professor of Modern History at Princeton University, and now on leave of absence as Director of the Continental Division of the American University Union at 1 Rue de Fleurus, Paris, has accepted the invitation of the Trustees of the Union to retain the Directorship for 1922-23, with the approval of the Princeton authorities, who have agreed to prolong his leave of absence for another year. Professor van Dyke's long continued interest in French history, manifested by his literary work, his sympathies with the French, and his experience as head of the Princeton Bureau and Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Union in Paris during the war, in addition to his present term as Director, have made his continuance in office exceedingly desirable and important at the present juncture in international affairs, and the friends of the Union in the United States and abroad are greatly indebted to him and to Princeton University for their consideration in making the arrangements necessary to secure his residence abroad, at some personal sacrifice, for another year.
Dr. Horatio S. Krans, Secretary and Assistant Director of the Continental Division, has also accepted the Trustees' invitation to retain his position for another year. Dr. Krans was during the war in charge of the Paris Bureau of Columbia University, of which he is a graduate, and he has held his present office since that time, thus securing a continuity of administration which has contributed very considerably to the success of the undertaking.
The Rector of the University of Paris, at the suggestion of the officers of the Continental Division of the Union, has agreed to the appointment of advisers to American students in Paris. Three members of the Faculties of Letters, of Law, (which includes Political Science) and of Science respectively, have already been appointed. All of them have visited the United States, speak English, and are especially interested in American students, so that their advice and help will be of great service. The appointment of a similar adviser in the Faculty in Medicine is under consideration.
